Hello Everyone! Hope you all are doing great and welcome to another #Splinterlands post.
Today I wanted to do another #Splinterlands Card Spotlight, and this time I picked a card that isn't all about huge damage numbers. Instead, it's a card that keeps your whole team alive.
The card is Sira.
Sira is a Legendary Earth unit, and after reading all of its abilities, I can honestly say this card looks like one of the strongest support monsters available for the Earth element.
It doesn't need crazy attack power to be useful. Its abilities alone can completely change how a battle goes.
The first thing that caught my attention was the artwork.
Sira has a really unique design compared to many other Earth cards. It looks calm and wise instead of looking aggressive, which actually matches its role pretty well.
Its mana cost is only 4, making it much easier to fit into different team compositions.
Whenever I see low mana legendary cards, I usually expect them to have strong utility instead of raw damage.
After reading the abilities, I understood why.
This card is all about protecting teammates and giving your lineup another chance to win.
Camouflage: Cannot be directly targeted unless in the first position.
The first ability is Camouflage.
This means Sira cannot be directly targeted unless it moves into the first position.
I really like this ability because support monsters usually become the enemy's first target.
With Camouflage, Sira can safely stay hidden in the backline while continuing to help the team.
That alone already makes it much harder for opponents to remove it early.
Shield Ward: At the start of battle, the unit in front of this unit gains Shield.
The second ability is Shield Ward.
At the beginning of battle, the monster directly in front of Sira gains Shield.
This is honestly a very nice ability.
Giving your frontline extra protection right from Round 1 can make a huge difference, especially against melee or ranged attackers.
Sometimes surviving just one extra hit is all you need to completely change the battle.
Deflection Shroud: At the start of battle, adjacent units gain Deflect.
The third ability is Deflection Shroud.
At the start of battle, adjacent allies gain Deflect.
I really enjoy abilities that improve multiple teammates instead of just one.
Deflect can protect nearby units from certain reflected damage situations, making your formation even stronger.
It's another reason why positioning Sira correctly becomes really important.
Resurrect: Resurrects an allied unit once per battle with 1 health and 100% armor. All magic debuffs are removed, and all magic buffs are reapplied. Resurrected units skip their turn.
Finally comes probably the strongest ability on this card, Resurrect.
Once per battle, Sira can bring back one defeated ally with 1 Health and full Armor.
That can completely turn a losing battle into a winning one.
Imagine your strongest tank getting defeated, then suddenly coming back into the fight.
Moments like that are exactly why support cards become so valuable.
I always enjoy seeing Resurrection abilities because they usually surprise the opponent too.
Personally, I think Sira works best in defensive teams.
It doesn't need to deal massive damage because its job is helping everyone else survive longer.
I would probably place it somewhere in the middle or backline where Camouflage keeps it protected while all its support abilities continue working.
Earth teams already have several durable monsters, and adding Sira behind them sounds like a really solid strategy.
After looking through everything, these are my favorite parts:
Low mana cost for a Legendary card.
Camouflage keeps it safe.
Shield Ward protects your frontline immediately.
Deflection Shroud helps nearby allies.
Resurrect can completely swing a battle.
Honestly, that's an impressive list for only 4 mana.
Of course, no card is perfect.
Some small weaknesses I noticed are:
Doesn't focus on dealing heavy damage.
Needs smart positioning to maximize its abilities.
Resurrect only activates once.
Can lose value if forced into the front position.
Still, those weaknesses aren't very big considering how much support this card provides.
After spending some time looking at Sira, I honestly think this is one of the most interesting support cards in the Earth element.
It protects teammates, hides itself using Camouflage, grants Shield, provides Deflect to nearby allies, and even brings back a fallen monster.
That's a lot of value packed into one card.
Cards like this remind me that #Splinterlands isn't always about finding the monster with the biggest attack.
Sometimes the card that quietly supports everyone else is the real MVP of the battle.
I'll definitely be hoping to use Sira someday because I think it could fit into a lot of Earth team strategies.
Anyway thats it for today鈥檚 #Splinterlands grind. Please do give your reviews in the comments section below. I would really appreciate it :)
I'll be back with another one soon. So do follow me if you want to stay updated. Till then, Stay Happy and Stay Hydrated.
